The idiocy of disclaimers

[rimmka]

I am always amused by disclaimers that state things like "Do not stick your head into a washing machine in operation" and think that well maybe there really are idiots out there who'd try this and then sue the manufacturers when they get hurt. But the disclaimer at the end of a TV show that I just watched is one of the most absurd I've ever seen

ALL of the disclaimers are rooted in SOME incident or lawsuit. So yes, somebody must have felt that the events in Star Trek happened to them.

seriously? it's not just a preventive measure? Somebody actually went ahead and said stop using my real life on the show, being a Vulcan in America is hard enough? :)
